About Word Frequency
Counts how often each word appears in your text and ranks the results from most to least frequent, with a bar comparing each count to that of the top word. The list updates as you type and works best with English text. Useful for spotting repeated terms in drafts, documentation or product copy.

Frequently asked questions
How are words counted?
▾
The text is lowercased, so The, THE and the are tallied as one entry, and every character other than a–z, 0–9, straight apostrophes and hyphens acts as a separator. Contractions like don't and hyphenated words like well-known count as one word, and numbers count as words too.
Are common words (stop words) excluded?
▾
No. There is no stop-word filter, so function words such as the, and or of usually top the list; skip past them or remove them from the text first if you want content words to stand out.
Does it work with accented letters or other languages?
▾
Not reliably. Accented letters such as é or ñ act as separators, so café is counted as caf, and words in scripts like Cyrillic or Chinese are dropped entirely. Results are accurate for plain English text.
How many words does the list show?
▾
The 100 most frequent words, while the counter above the list reports every unique word found. Words with the same count keep the order in which they first appear in the text.
